  1. About 7 years ago, a friend of mine (I was dating one of her friends at the time) was stabbed to death by her boyfriend in the kitchen of another friend of mine. They had only been dating a few months and he was the super jealous type, and obviously batshit crazy. They had been fighting that evening and when they got back to her friend's house, they continued fighting into the early hours and he just snapped and stabbed her. She had been living with the guy in California and brought him home to Austin to meet her family and friends for the weekend. Some of her girlfriends had met him previously and knew right away there was something "off" about him. They had planned to take her to brunch the next day for an intervention of sorts. Unfortunately it was too late. The guy fled the scene and was later caught by cops. He'd tried, unsuccessfully, to cut his own throat. In the trial, the piece of shit actually tried to claim self defense. He's in prison for life. She was a fun, sweet woman in her 30s. SWA flight attendant. Just chose the wrong guy. Another one....Around 2000-2001 or so, a girl I worked with, early 20s, was killed by her husband in a murder-suicide in Cedar Park.
  2. Tecovas and Cueros are both pretty quiet for whatever reason. The boot guys here who are much smarter than me could probably explain why.
  3. PSA: Cuero boots are 25% off now through Feb. 14 with coupon code "LOVE" at checkout. That's on top of the sale price, so the Eastwoods are $138 -- and that's including tax. Just got myself another pair. Couldn't pass them up at that price.
  4. I've always considered it a personal favorite and one of the greatest country songs ever recorded.
  5. I love how he just runs straight through the people. "Coming through!!!!" lulz
  6. Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
  7. Authentic Teju Lizard as best I can tell. They seem to be fairly well made (wooden pegs, etc). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ferrini-Teju-Lizard-Round-Toe-Dress-Western-Brown-Mens/401997083487
  8. Anyone have any experience with Ferrini boots? Based in Carrolton, Texas and hecho in Mexico. Came across a pair of lizard skins online marked down below $200 and decided to pull the trigger on them as a Xmas present to myself. Can always return them. Haven't been able to find out much about Ferrini but what I have read is mostly positive.
  9. Storm Duck is one of the greatest names in all of football.
  10. Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.
  11. Good question. He played at WVU. They've had a few guest pickers this year with no connection to either school, which is just stupid.
  12. I guess I didn't realize NDSU Bison fans do the Hook'em Horns hand sign. I turned on GameDay earlier and all the SDSU fans were doing Horns down and I was really confused.
  13. Unfuckingbelievable. But then again, 100% believable. Fuck all this shit.
